Musk Sues Ex-Congressman Over Offensive Remarks
Elon Musk files a lawsuit against Jamaal Bowman after being labeled a “Nazi” and a “thief” during a CNN appearance.
Elon Musk has initiated a lawsuit after former Democratic Congressman Jamaal Bowman referred to him as a “Nazi” and a “thief” during a CNN broadcast. Frustrated with what he views as defamatory statements, Musk made an announcement on X (formerly Twitter) Friday, stating, “I’ve had enough. Lawsuit inbound.”
Bowman, who gained notoriety for his previous actions in Congress, such as pulling a fire alarm to stall a vote, is now confronted with a legal battle initiated by Musk for what he claims are slanderous and damaging accusations. Musk emphasized his determination to not be likened to historical figures associated with tyranny or to face false allegations of theft on a national platform.
This incident adds to a series of confrontations between Musk and various far-left commentators who have attempted to undermine him since he began addressing issues of censorship and political corruption. Now, Musk is responding to these attacks with legal action as his means of defense.
